This week, we began our unit on Earth and Space Science and learned about gravity's role in keeping the solar system together. We also learned about planets' orbits around the sun, and the different kinds of planets in the solar system. Students asked great questions about how gravity works and how it exists in space.
NEXT WEEK: We will begin learning about the planets of the solar system and their order from the sun. We will also have a quiz on the order of the planets on 11/7, after we get back from Outdoor Ed.
This week, we continued our unit on cells with a review of the parts of a cell and the processes that cells perform, a lab where we looked at slides of cells under a microscope, and a test to summarize what students learned.
NEXT WEEK: We will learn about DNA and RNA to wrap up our unit on cells. After we get back from Outdoor Ed, we will begin our unit on the diversity of life, starting with the classification of living things. We will have a quiz on this classification system on 11/7.
